Wired's pick for best quiet heater runs below 40 dB on low, quieter than any other digital heater tested. Vornado's vortex technology pushes heat to the far corner of the room almost imperceptibly.
But especially on low heat, this thing is beautifully silent, less than 40 decibels, much quieter than any previous digital devices I'd tested from Vornado. It is also gentle in its heating, pushing out air almost imperceptibly to the opposite corner of the room.
If you don't want to notice your heater at all but still feel warm, this is the heater you want.
Top pick from both Wired and The Spruce, with dual-axis oscillation, a working thermostat, and whisper-quiet operation. Checks every box better than any other heater tested across dozens of models.
Good Housekeeping's best overall pick and a perennial community favorite, whisper-quiet, compact, and backed by a 5-year warranty. Circulates warm air throughout a room in minutes despite its small size.
Good Housekeeping's best value pick raised a room's temperature 7°F in 30 minutes and runs as quietly as a refrigerator, all for around $35. Packs more features than heaters costing three times as much.
Oscillating tower design reaches more vertical and horizontal space than compact heaters, making it one of the few models users say genuinely heats an entire large room. High user ratings and a remote control set it apart.
